Wine and long conversation en terrasse is a time-honored pastime in France, but is especially cherished when the grey winter gives way to sunshine.

No trip to Paris is complete without spending at least one late afternoon people watching on a café terrace, and I’ve rounded up my favorite spots from around the city for you.

Saving Notre Dame

I've been getting a lot of emails about visiting Champagne recently, so wanted to re-share my guide to a perfect two-day trip by train. Happy planning and cheers!

Personal Note...
When I heard Notre Dame was on fire, I immediately ran there. For the next few hours as the cathedral burned, I gave live updates on France 24.
It wasn't until I got home at night that I felt the true sadness and shock of what I just saw. The feeling of helplessness in the crowd as we watched this treasure burn.
As an American, I am humbled by the history of this city. I hope this terrible event can make all of us remember to never take the beauty of Paris for granted, and our good fortune to visit or live here.
